BOLSOVER’S WELLNESS TRAILBLAZER: DANIELLA JACKSON EARNS DOUBLE RECOGNITION FOR RETREAT YOGA STUDIO

Retreat Yoga & Wellbeing, founded by Bolsover-based entrepreneur Daniella Jackson, has been named Yoga Studio of the Year by the Central England Prestige Awards, recognising its outstanding contribution to wellness and community wellbeing in the region.

This accolade comes at a time of double celebration for Daniella, who has also been shortlisted in the top five nationally for the Solopreneur Awards 2025. The nomination was sparked by her growing reputation for hosting transformative yoga and wellbeing retreats, which she began offering in 2023. These retreats have helped hundreds of people slow down, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with themselves - creating lasting impact beyond the mat.

“I’ve been so lucky to work with so many wonderful people and share my passion for yoga and mindfulness,” Daniella says.

“The success of the retreats inspired me to open the studio in Bolsover - a space where people can feel safe, supported, and empowered to look after their physical and mental health every day.”

The studio has quickly become a sanctuary for locals and visitors alike, offering a range of classes and holistic experiences that reflect Daniella’s deep commitment to wellbeing. Her journey hasn’t been without challenges - launching and growing a business solo, especially as a woman in leadership, has required resilience and determination.

“There were moments of underestimation, but I stayed driven by the importance of holding these spaces for people,” Daniella shares.

“I’ve been surrounded by incredibly supportive people who’ve helped me from day one - and now I’ve found my tribe.”

Daniella’s business profile is featured on the Bolsover Place Champions pages, highlighting local changemakers who are shaping the future of the district.
